Default Turbo S&G\'s feel like a crap shoot, good ROI attainable ?

Ive been playing turbo S&G's that increase blinds every 2 min's. out of 10 games i have 2 1sts and 1 3rd and a few bubbles. I'm really beginning to feel with this fast blind structure that its almost a crap shoot with people jamming a lot, and when down to 4 or 3 peep its coin flips r us.
So just wondering if people have had any success ROI wise, and also is maybe 2 min blinds are too fast and there are 5 minute blinds or something turbo wise that seem more skillful.......it has me thinking of going back to normal S&G's

Wow 10 games? You have to play at least 10 more to get a true estimate on whether or not you are winning.

Read the FAQ. IBL.

A lot of people have a sustainable ROI at the turbo. If you play the optimal sng strategy and use ICM to make bubble decisions your ROI should be positive over a large sample. You need to play way, way more than 10 sngs to find out if you're a winning player.

2 minute blinds are pretty quick, those are the ULTRA turbos on UB? I think a good player is probably +EV but the variance may be higher. If youare multitabling w/ rakeback one benefit is the faster turnover = more rakeback.

obviously anything with 2 minute levels will be high variance. if you understand ICM better than your opponents and the rake is reasonable, they're beatable. 10 games is lol. locked.
